Having spent months with only “2015” stamped on it — and a lot of that time with gamers assuming a summer title for whatever reason — Yakuza 5‘s own official English website now tags it with a slightly more specific release window.
Every single Yakuza game has over-the-top action and high-octane fights, and these are our picks for the most badass moments from the Yakuza games.
Carve your burning fist through this list featuring the best beat'em ups you can experience on the PlayStation 3.
With RGG in the mainstream spotlight, about to complete their first simultaneous worldwide release, let's take a look back and rank the Yakuza games.
I just could not get into like a dragon I love Yakuza series but when they went with turn based combat it just was not for me. I hope future entries go back to its original roots or at least every now and then have a game where is real Time brawler combat
We do have judgement so at least there are other similar games being made by same developers
I’m sorry but no way is like a dragon better than Yakuza 0, 4,5, or 6. It’s different with a lighter hearted tone a lot of times. Plenty of slapstick and jokes. It literally feels like a DLC compared to the main Yakuza games. Unless you simply don’t like action games maybe… but going through the underground arenas, fighting the mini bosses randomly on the streets on different games for money or exp (like the guy in the gold suit for example). Not to mention the mini games, which Like a dragon has some too, but not as good as most other Yakuzas. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing Yakuza from the beginning. It’s like the metal gear rpg/card collector that was on PSP or Vita. It was a cool game and a lot of fun, but it wasn’t a METAL GEAR. It was fun for what it was. I don’t believe this person actually played through all the Yakuzas. Probably gamepassed like a dragon and dabbled in the others to get an idea.
There are a few I haven't played so I am replaying and playing through them now on GP.
I did like Like a Dragon, it kept the feel of the games, but I got bored of the combat about halfway in. It was the easiest RPG I've ever played.
If I remember correctly - Eri, lower defence move for all. Ichiban - Mega bat. Every fight over in seconds.
I'm currently playing Yakuza 0 and so far it's the best game I played this year.
Screw it because i hoping to get a release date during E3 so i hold off on importing the game. But since E3 just came and went without any date and now might come out in the fall i just decided to order a copy off of amazon should be arriving on tuesday. Gonna have quite the busy week thanks to not only Batman Arkham Knight but also now Yakuza 5.
I don't know wht sega just doesn't add subtitles during development, that way we don't literally have to beg to play our favorite game
After yakuza 5 is ishin
Sega just release a yakuza collection for ps4 with all the yakuza games to date
PS3 exclusives still coming...
Serious question: when was the last major exclusive for 360? and 360 only.
Too late imo. I absolutely LOVE the Yakuza series, i've played every single one including the spinoff dead souls and the psp version. But SEGA has been treating western fans like shit this time around, hell two more installments have been released in japan since they started honeydicking people with this localization. I've already sold my ps3 and am beyond fed up with Japanese publishers bullshit when it comes to a western release.
Hurry up Sega if you still want my money
